    Steamed Clams

    Don't really understand the hype, and not my type of restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the decor, and the staff was amazing. But the drinks were mediocre, over priced, and the noodles were just meh. We came randomly on a Sunday with no reservations. We ordered whiskey sours which were watered down and didn't taste amazing. I ordered the hapa ramen and my partner ordered the hot and sour. Yes, the hand made noodles were good. It was more like soba noodles. But it didn't really go with the items in the noodles. Soup was decent. My partners hot and sour was very salt, and soup came like warm. She tried her best to continue eating it, but had to ask for hot water to concentrate it down. The nice waiter came back and said the chef can remake it. The remake was good. So we were fairly happy with that. Overall like I said, not really my type of restaurant but the staff was really nice and attentive.

    After scouting out different places to eat, and eating at most, we decided to come back to Star noodle, and I took a chance on ordering the same dish, and they KNOCKED IT OUT OF the PARK AGAIN!!! Service tonight was good, Andy took good care of us. Ambiance is so-k, as what makes this place shine is when there is still some sun light. But you can't go wrong with any of their dishes.

    I am amending my 2023 review! I think they were still adapting to the new location back then. We had a wonderful experience last night, rivaling the food quality from the previous location of the hill. We enjoyed the Vietnamese crêpe (my fav), steamed pork buns, ramen, green beans, and garlic noodles. Our server, Andy, was terrific. And we had an interesting conversation with the charming manager, Andrew.

    NOODLES themselves are exceptionally fresh. Very modern twist with versatile dishes catered to a family style experience. However portion size and the amount of protein in each noodle dish was very minimal for the price. A single dish is not enough for one person. LAHAINA FRIED SOUP (not soup) was worth a try for the texture of the flat noodle and gave a bit of a padseew feel. Just no meat. SINGAPORE NOODLE was pretty good. SERVICE at the bar and front desk was fantastic and the mixed drinks looked very interesting. Some of the most unique options with an Asian twist. Great spot on a girls date to pick at a variety of things but not a spot to take a bunch of growing boys on a budget.

    Everything was excellent! Steamed pork belly buns were otherworldly! Tempura shrimp were gigantic! The Hapa Ramen with roasted pork belly was a combination of veggies, soft boiled egg , hearty broth, and perfect ramen noodles! I totally emptied the whole bowl. The Malasadas? Who doesn't love hot dough?! Right on the water and Max, our server, was especially pleasant and helpful. Having been to the previous 2 locations, this is surely the best!

    Three years later, we came back to Star Noodle. Some people have said that the service isn't great, but we were very happy with the service. We had to wait about 10 minutes past our reservation time to sit, but after that, our waiter was very nice and helpful, and the food came very quickly. The menu is nice in that it's relatively small. Everything on it looks really good. We tried the chicken wings, adobo ribs, the green beans, the haba ramen, and the garlic noodles. The food was very good but didn't blow us away. Maybe it's because it sounds so good, but it's got a high bar to me. In the end, it was a very nice dinner, though the cost does add up if you get a couple of cocktails and four or five things to share. It's gonna be $200. Still definitely enjoyed it and would come back to try other things.

    Excellent experience, we love the new location closer to the water. I remember the pork buns being a little better (more pork) in the past but they were still acceptable. You can't go wrong with the Garlic Noodles and they are a must have for each of our visits. The Espresso Martini was phenomenal! Our waitress was great and the food came out fast. Star Noodle is a must visit place when on Maui!

    Trying out the new dim sum menu they offer on the weekends 10-1pm. Would recommend you make a reservation because it was pretty full. The interior and exterior of the restaurant is very clean. Great outdoor view of the ocean very relaxing. Our server was great excellent service fun to talk too. Starting with strawberry soda is was good could use a bit more flavoring. The dim sum was overall pretty good the pork shims had good flavor. And the shrimp shims had lots of shrimp packed in there with a good truffle sauce on top. They paired really well with the chilli crisps. The har gow was unfortunately not that good the outside wrapper was tuff and chewy and the shrimp filling inside was felt hard. Besides from that the fish sauce wings were okay could use more flavoring since and coating on them. The garlic noodles were really good. Overall pretty good experience and would go again!

    We found this place while looking for the most reviewed spots on the island. We walked in without a reservation but the staff were super kind and helped us with a table with minimal wait, even when they were sold out for the night. Their garlic noodles are the star and something to die for - very flavorful and savory. The ramen on the menu was great as well. They were very accommodating of our dietary restrictions as well. Coming to the ambiance, it is like heaven on earth! Magnificent views of the ocean and natural sound of waves just make it the prettiest place on the island.

    We did not have reservations, but tried our luck with a party of 5 a little after 5pm and were able to sit at the bar (even with our 5-year-old). The food was amazing - I think the best we had in Maui. Our favorites and things we would definitely order again: 1. Miso Butterfish - our server recommended this and it was all of our favorite dish 2. Cantonese Green Beans - so good with a little heat 3. Garlic Noodles - yum! We could have easily ordered a second bowl. 4. Malasadas - We should have ordered one for each of us because they were perfectly cooked and delicious! We also had the Pad Thai, Tempura Shrimp, and Pork Buns, and they were all good too. Cocktails and mocktails were all perfectly balanced and fresh. Next time we'll make a reservation in advance to sit in the dining room, but we'll definitely be back!

    First time visiting here, and I came based on a recommendation. I was excited to try it, but overall the experience didn't quite meet my expectations. I made a reservation for lunch and didn't realize it would be a dim sum-only menu, so that was a bit of a surprise. We ordered the garlic noodles, Lahaina fried soup, and har gow. The garlic noodles had good flavor, but were a bit too salty for my taste and slightly dry, which caused them to clump together. The Lahaina fried soup was an interesting and unique take on chow fun, though it also leaned on the saltier side. The har gow was decent, but didn't particularly stand out compared to other places I've tried. Overall, I can see the creativity behind the dishes, but I think some adjustments in seasoning and texture would really elevate the experience. Glad I gave it a try, but not sure I would return given the price and expectations.

    I highly recommend this location for dinning in if you are on Maui. The food is top notch and the service is equally the same. The main thing to do here is reserve a table in advance for your party as these guys work off reservations. Walk in's are welcome to the bar but I'd recommend u make a reservation. Mahalo

    Pork  buns lacked a little flavor but then I dipped them in the ahi belly and it was great after that'
    Barbara T.

    Great service and nice atmosphere! Food Was great/ there is a long wait if u don't have a reservation. The drink wasn't great but the food was delicious and I recommend it!

    Star Noodle Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Star Noodle

    Is the walk up availability?

    Yes, walk-ins are available but I would highly suggest to get there and line up before they open (30 minutes before they open) because they will only have bar seating available for walk-ins.

    Does this restaurant serve gluten free pasta?

    Yes since they do offer rice noodles in some dishes . All pastas are made fresh by them

    Anyone know when they will reopen?

    They hope to open at the beginning of August. Keep an eye on social media for their announcement in the next two weeks.

    How is the restaurant? Was it affected by the fire? Is it open for dine in or take out? I have since learned via their Facebook page that the restaurant is in tact but will remain closed until further notice. Thanks.?

    Check out their FB page - they've made a few recent posts. It sounds like their structure itself survived, but it's not clear if it means it was unscathed per se. Mane of their employees were impacted, so they've started a Gofundme.

    Is there a kids menu / is this family friendly?

    Family Friendly for sure, didn't see a kids menu. But a lot of the menu items are served family style.

    How far in advance are reservations accepted?

    You can make reservations at least 30 days in advance. Which I highly recommend. I went back one week later and all the best time spots were booked.

    I made a reservation for 14 people months ago. We will be celebrating after a wedding ceremony and I'm told they can't guarantee we can all sit together. Not sure if they are…

    The restaurant isn't designed for large groups like yours. Congrats on your wedding and choosing a great place to eat though. Just be prepared to sit separately.

    Are any of your menu options vegan?

    They have vegan options, yes, just ask upon arrival or call ahead if you want to know the exact options

    Does the restaurant take walk in?

    Yes but I recommend walking in as early as possible before the dinner rush starts. Unfortunately I think that's at 3:30 pm.

    Is MSG used in their food?

    Aloha Mike! Star Noodle does not add MSG to the food. There are some sub-ingredients that already contain MSG so there are trace amounts in a few menu items. The service staff can assist you in making selections to avoid it all together.

    Do they cater?

    Nope

    No food on the go on your website as stated on your phone message. Are you still doing take out?

    Aloha Dawn! Star Noodle is indeed offering take-out! Our Online system is undergoing some revisions, but you can still get our food to go by contacting our team at (808)667-5400. Mahalo!

    Are there gluten free options?

    Aloha Vicki! Star Noodle offers some gluten-free options and modifications. Your service staff will be knowledgeable and can help you through the menu.

    Do you have takeout?

    Yes. If you cannot get a reservation, the hostess will give you a menu to order take-out. They are really accomodating. You can sit at the bench in a peaceful area to wait for your order.

    Is it only reservations only? Was told if you can't get one, don't bother stopping in?

    Practically speaking, it is reservation only. They offer take-out to guests who walk up without a reservation. However, at certain times, there are empty tables, like off-hours that you can try for a walk-in. We left at about 3:30 p.m. and there… Read more

    Are they allergy friendly?

    Yes. They ask if yiu have any allergies when they take your order

    Can we reserve outside?

    The entire restaurant is outside.

    Is proof of booster needed to dine at an outdoor table?

    For outdoor dining in Hawaii Vaccinations are not required. Just masks to and from the table, and until you have food or water.

    Do they offer dairy free desserts?

    Yes they do!

    Hello, I am trying to make reservations for dinner tonight @7pm. Possible to please help? Thank you

    Aloha! Thanks for contacting us! Unfortunately we are completely booked for tonight. Please continue… Read more

Madison was our server and she did an incredible job, she was on it especially covering quite a few tables nothing lacked her attention and charm. I had yet to try a Loco Moco since we arrived in Maui, I have had this dish on the other islands and it's been good. Tonight I tried Aloha Mixed Plate Loco Moco, they offer it with a choice of steamed rice or fried rice so I wanted to try the fried rice. What a difference in flavor combos. The fried rice gave the dish a much richer taste than the steamed rice. The hamburger patty was incredible, I could taste the char noting it was not fried on a flat top. Excellent dish. My wife did the sirloin steak special prepared with mushrooms and onions and cooked to perfection. Juicy and flavorful and plenty of it. Cocktails were outstanding, we tried something different from our first visit. Loved the evening feel of the room, the night vibe with the exterior torches and landscape really brought the tropical feel. Then came an amazing sunset which you could experience from any table in the house. Couldn't leave without trying the Aloha Pie, so decadent and light. Glad we came a 2nd time, have to say we have not experienced the Hawaiian flavors like we have tasted at Aloha. Do try it for lunch or dinner but make the reservation because it would be sad to get there and not get to try it. Bravissimo Aloha! Ciao

There was a line of people trying to make reservations also so book before or earlier. We arrived a few minutes early for the reservation and our table was ready. The restaurant is much bigger than I thought. Large covered dining area plus the dining on the newly renovated and extra large deck over looking the pool. Evening time was dark inside but the table lights were bright enough at the table and added the nice ambiance. Our server was so friendly and patient and I saw that she was on top of every request and order from all the tables in her section. Amazing skills! We ordered the white lotus mocktail, a OJ, kids Mac and cheese, curry dusted calamari, Korean seafood pancakes, pork belly bao, Rainbow and Shrimp Tempura rolls, and the blackened tuna roll. The dishes and sushi rolls are generous portions and we didn't understand or were starving. We ordered too much for the table. Even the kids Mac and cheese came in this huge bowl enough for two kids. All the sushi rolls were fresh and delicious. They were topped with this wasabi tobiko. I've never had anything like that, and I wished I had more to top other dishes. The Korea seafood pancakes were really crispy on the outside and light and doughy on the inside with the seafood. The sauce on top was great. If they had called this seafood hush puppies, I would have been happy with the order. Each piece was ginormous but didn't have much green onions. I was expecting the pancakes to have a lot more green onions. The pork belly bao buns had a nice pickled salad on top. The buns were not very fluffy but serviceable. The dish was ok. The curry dusted calamari was also just ok. Calamari was fried well and crispy. The curry dust was just not the flavor we liked. And it came with these grape halves around which didn't really go well with the calamari or flavor in my opinion. I think if we ever come back, we'll stick with the sushi menu.
